Map of Dark Dome Stairs

Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Secrets

1. There is a secret door in the south-east of the yellow key room (marked with a different texture) leading to two medikits, two imps, two cacodemons (not on easy skill), and a box of shotgun shells. On multiplayer there are also several other items. (sector 12)
2. The box of shotgun shells in #1 marks a secret door leading to a room with a soul sphere and two boxes of rockets. There is a secret door on the north side of the corridor here (marked with a misaligned texture) leading to a room with 12 armors, eight medikits, and a backpack (more on multiplayer). (sector 20)
3. The south side of the aforementioned corridor also has a secret door (marked with a misaligned texture) leading to a room with a cacodemon and a door. (sector 16)
4. The door in #3 leads to a room with many health bonuses and armor bonuses. (sector 18)
5. The room with the teleporter to the exit area counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 5)
